Abstract
Method and apparatus for longitudinally reinforcing continuously generated, resin-impregnated fiber pipe includes depositing longitudinal reinforcing fiber elements directly onto the surface of the pipe into the nip formed between the surface of the pipe being generated and fiber elements being wound circumferentially onto the pipe. Rollers contacting the pipe at the nip guide the longitudinal deposition of fiber elements supplied from a swinging supply tube.

A method of longitudinally reinforcing continuously generated plastic pipe comprising winding a plurality of fiber elements circumferentially onto the pipe being generated, and depositing continuous fiber elements longitudinally onto the surface of the pipe in the nip formed between the surface of the pipe and the fiber elements being circumferentially wound onto the pipe.
A method of longitudinally reinforcing continuously generated plastic pipe comprising winding a plurality of fiber elements circumferentially onto the pipe being generated, the winding including winding the circumferential fiber elements over rollers contacting the surface of the pipe, and depositing continuous fiber elements longitudinally onto the surface of the pipe in the nip formed between the surface of the pipe and the fiber elements being circumferentially wound onto the pipe at the point of contact between the rollers and the pipe.
